Con Report: Pulpfest 2019
Pulpfest, held outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is not a convention I would have attended normally, but my publisher held an event there and I wouldn’t have missed that for the world.

Con Report: Balticon 53
I had another fantastic weekend at my “local” convention, Balticon, over Memorial Day weekend!

But onceContinue reading “Cleveland Concoction 2019 Schedule”
Con Report: Farpoint 2019
Growing up as a military brat, I always had this sense that once I left a place, I would never be back. While looking for a house in the Baltimore area before sixth grade, my family briefly stayed at a hotel, the Hunt Valley Inn. Therefor, it’s always a bit bizarre to be back thereContinue reading “Con Report: Farpoint 2019”
